I'm not doubting that Harry pushing the beads back to LV's want tip 
was huge, but it didn't happen on that page (2 before).  Personally, 
I'm not sure where the thing about "the clue" comes from, so I cannot 
guess at this point.   That does bring a new possibility to mind 
though.  

The question is, why is LV fearful?  I see 3 possibilities:
1. his previous victims are circling him (direct implication of text)
2. the Phoenix song going through the web (Kristen's previous post)
3. Through the connection, LV is being bombarded with Harry's 
emotions (Morgan's post)

Harry has a pretty big connection to the phoenix - not sure if it's 
general or Fawkes in particular.  Maybe I've been watching too much 
Power Rangers Dino Thunder with my kids :), but perhaps Harry has a 
touch of Phoenix powers.  That could also be what they are studying 
in that room at the minitry of magic.
